Even though the formidable Geraldine Ferraro has pointed out that Obama relies on his racial status to get what no white man would ever get, the deafening squeals of faux-indignation over this observation among democrats again shows what a 'minority-owned business' their party is.
Examples of Obama's very obvious non-'transcendence' of racial exploitativeness are here, here, here, here, and here . The democrats have a strict and highly complex quota regimen [ Democratic Delegate Selection Rules for the 2008 convention ] , demonstrating beyond possibility of doubt, the all-importance of race to their party structure.
It is this way to such extent that, 'we are the change' has to mean racial changeover, and the particular opposition to old politics, has to mean that racial personnel changeover, is itself the policy. All of this obscures the leftism which Obama has to dissemble, but since race is all-important on the left and moderate left here, he gets away with it.
This is indeed the politics of pro-diversity, and, since our diversity can't be our unity, Obama is a divider. He cannot unify, because pro-diversity works against unity, and necessarily so.

If The Nomination Of A Black Is Of World-Historical Importance
then race would seem to be considered all-important."I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick, and good jobs for the jobless. This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow, and our planet began to heal."quoted from Obama’s speech in St. Paul, found via this PermalinkIf race is not quite that important, yet the nomination of a black for the presidency by a major party remains in itself, such a historically important event, who exactly is supposed incapable of noting the contradiction-in-terms contained, in believing both at the same time? Doesn't it have to be those too unintelligent to catch the contradiction, and those too irrational to care? Either way, the appeal is to mental weakness of some kind. For the educated progressive of intelligence and authority among his fellows, to act as though this were the best appeal for power that the left can make here and now, is to confess that there is no reasonable case for a notable move leftwards. The enthusiasm for having a racial candidate in this way, is sure to be genuine. Especially it must be so, when major media figures such as Chris Matthews of the tingling leg, reveal the secret code, in which 'inexperienced' means racially undesirable and second-class, or has some racial meaning of that kind. It's almost as if it were wanted to make out any criticism of their racial candidate to be moved entirely by racial hatred. That is the predictable pattern, of a power-greedy faction with no honest argument available as to why they should have more power.
